Default What is it with Farmers ???

Since May 2004 I've completed 1632 contracts for clients mainly within the construction industry.

Two of which were silly fart ar5e little jobs for farmers and I got a load of 5hite from both of them when it came to payment.

Just finished another one and I'm getting exactly the same ??????

Do they earn money ? and if not why do they ring up in the first place.

The latest one had a large concrete structure that he is turning into a house.
He wanted 4 doorways and two large windows cut in the 350mm thick concrete walls.
Two Polish guys had been there with hired electric breakers for a week trying to knock out 2 thirds of one doorway.
We supply him a quote, arrange a date and attend. Three days later it's all finished and now he doesn't want to pay as he thinks it's too expensive!

The job cost me £900 in wages for 2 men, £800 in diamond. £ 286.00 in equipment repair and £200 admin. The quote was for 2.6 and now he says it was only worth 1K because it took 3 days.
I told him the duration would be 3-4 days in the quote ????

I'm now on the verge of telling him we shall be shooting one cow per day until we receive monies owed.
